There are many uses for Fieldbus and many ways it can be configured. It is
not possible to give simple wiring rules that cover all cases. For this reason,
this Guide will first explain how Fieldbus works so that the wiring system
can be designed intelligently to achieve the best performance and most
reliable operation with the lowest cost.
There is more to Fieldbus than the wiring. For those wanting information

Chapter 1
Fieldbus also uses two wires to carry power to the devices. A number of
devices share the same Fieldbus wires. Fieldbus devices vary the voltage on
the two wires to send signals. See “Signals” on page 5. The signal is digital.
Because devices share the wires, the devices can send data to each other
without a DCS controller. Fieldbus data transmissions have more
information than just a single variable about temperature, pressure, or
valve position. From the data that are shared between the devices, the
devices can determine how to control the process. The host device only
supervises the operation. Fieldbus is a local area network (LAN) for
process control.
1
Fieldbus Network Concept
The two wires are a twisted pair similar to the usual 4-20 mAmp wiring
used for conventional devices. For more information, refer to “Wire
Connections” on page 13.
For the sake of simplicity of wiring diagrams, the wires are shown as a
single line.

Chapter 2
Fieldbus Configuration
Summary: Fieldbus network’s shared wiring carries power to devices and
signals between devices. Two terminators are required. A power supply and
a power conditioner are needed to provide Fieldbus power.
3
Fieldbus Configuration
For control systems that are limited in size, all the wiring components, the
power conditioner and terminators can be in a single wiring block to form a
star configuration.
The diagrams above show only two of the many possible Fieldbus
configurations. The power supply and conditioner could be in the field or
on a marshalling panel. The control device could be in the field with only a
display device in the control room. All these configurations are possible so
long as the basic signal transmission and power distribution capabilities are
provided: a twisted-pair cable, two terminators, and a conditioned power
supply.
Generally, there are less than 16 devices on any single Fieldbus segment, a
single network. In a large process plant there may be several hundred
segments. From a power and signal point of view, each of the segments is a
separate network. The segments are linked together in an overall control
system by other means that are beyond the scope of this Guide.

Chapter 3
Signals
Summary: Devices signal each other by varying the current they draw from
the network. The signal is Manchester coded. The LAS arbitrates which
device can use the network for signaling.
The twisted pair cables, terminators, and the power conditioner work
together as a wiring system that can carry signals between Fieldbus
devices. When a device is enabled to signal (See “LAS” on page 8), it varies
the amount of current it draws from the network.
When not transmitting, a device draws power from the cable for its
internal operation. It also draws an additional 10 mAmps that it "wastes."
When the device transmits a high signal, it turns off this extra 10 mAmps.
This increases the voltage between the wires. When the device transmits a
low signal, it draws an extra 10 mAmps from the wires, resulting in a
voltage decrease. The signal waveform is shown below. Note that the signal
is above and below the 24-volt non-transmitting level on the network.
5
Signals
A sequence of Manchester encoded ones and zeros would look like this:
Besides ones and zeros, there are also two non-data symbols. These non-
data symbols are N+, a high level during the whole bit cell, and N-, a low
level during the whole bit cell. These symbols are used to make an 8-bit
start delimiter that shows where real data starts and an 8-bit end
delimiter that shows where data transmission stops.
6
Signals
When a device transmits, the different parts are combined to form a data
frame:
7
Signals
The Data portion of the frame contains information such as the address of
the device for which the frame is intended, identification of the type of
frame, measurement values, etc. The Data portion of a frame can be up to
266 bytes long.
The delimiters are very different from any signal pattern that might be in
the Data portion of the frame. This difference allows the Data portion of
the frame to be unambiguously identified and allows Data corrupted by
noise to be detected using a Frame Check Sequence (FCS). The FCS is the
very last part of the Data portion of the frame. This feature makes Fieldbus
much more robust than many other control networks.
Because all devices share the cable, only one device should transmit at any
given time. Otherwise, there would be chaos on the cable with all the
transmitted signals interfering with one another. A special device, called
the Link Active Scheduler (LAS), selects which single device can transmit.
The LAS allows each device to transmit by sending out a special frame to
each device in turn. A frame might be: the LAS asking a device to transmit
data, a device broadcasting its data to other devices, a device reporting an
error condition, etc. If an oscilloscope were used to observe the signals on
the Fieldbus, the display would show frames with gaps of silence between
them, as shown below:

Fieldbus Cable
Summary: Fieldbus uses shielded, twisted-pair cable. The shield is
grounded at only one place.

Chapter 5
Terminator
Summary: A terminator is needed at each end of the Fieldbus network
segment.
A Fieldbus network without two terminators will not have the proper
signals. A network with only one terminator may appear to function
properly, but will have distorted signals with increased amplitude and
greater susceptibility to signal reflection noise. (A signal traveling on the
cable and reaching the end of the cable without a terminator will reflect
and travel back in the opposite direction).

Chapter 6
Wire Connections
Summary: Fieldbus wiring blocks make wiring easier, more reliable, and
provide additional features.
Fieldbus cable sections, the trunk cable, and the drop cables, need to be
connected together. This could be done using terminal strips. For example,
to connect a device spur to the trunk cable, the following connections
would have to be made, as shown below.
While this can work, there are potential problems. Two wires have to be
put under the same screw. Also, it is easy to get the jumper wires mixed
up.
13
Wire Connections
There are several ways to terminate cable to the wiring block: screw
terminals, pluggable screw terminals and spring clamps. At the time of this
writing, the most popular method is the pluggable screw terminal.
14
Wire Connections
Using pluggable screw terminals, the cable can be prepared and attached
to the plug without reaching into the often tight spaces of a junction box.
The plug is then inserted into the wiring block and fastened so that it does
not vibrate out or become disconnected if cables are moved.
Wiring blocks have additional features, such as a DIN-rail mounting clip and
an indicator light that shows if Fieldbus power is on at the wiring block.
The biggest benefit of wiring blocks is that they can have current limiters
built into them, which prevents a short on the spur connection from
bringing down the entire network segment.

Chapter 7
Fieldbus Power
Summary: A power conditioner is needed between a power supply and the
Fieldbus wires to power a Fieldbus.
Voltage
The voltage needs to be between 9 and 32 Volts. Generally, Fieldbus power
supplies provide about 24 Volts. See “Fieldbus Limitations” on page 19.
Current
A typical Fieldbus device uses about 20 mAmps of current. Generally, the
number of devices on a Fieldbus network segment is less than 16. A power
supply with a 16 x 20 = 320 mAmp current rating is sufficient for most
applications.
Voltage 17
Fieldbus Power
Galvanic Isolation
The power supply and power conditioner combination needs to be
electrically isolated from grounds. This means that bulk 24 V DC power
supplies that have one output grounded cannot be used with power
conditioners if they do not themselves provide electrical isolation. Galvanic
isolation is important in minimizing noise ingress and providing network
reliability.
18 Galvanic Isolation
Chapter 8
Fieldbus Limitations
Summary: Power distribution, attenuation, and signal distortion limit the
size of a Fieldbus network segment and the number of devices that can be
interconnected.
Power Distribution
The number of devices that can be on a Fieldbus segment is limited by the
power supply voltage, the resistance of the cable, and the amount of
current drawn by the devices. The following example shows how to
calculate the maximum number of devices that can be attached at the
chickenfoot.
Since each device draws 20 mAmps, the maximum number of devices at the
chickenfoot of this example is:
When devices are attached to the cable at different places, the power
distribution calculation becomes more involved. Generally, the cable
length is much shorter than 1 km and the Fieldbus power supply voltage is
higher so that power distribution is not a big issue.
Power Distribution 19
Fieldbus Limitations
Attenuation
As signals travel on a Fieldbus cable, they are attenuated, that is, they are
reduced in amplitude. The longer the cable, the greater the attenuation.
The Fieldbus standard requires that a Fieldbus device transmits a signal at
least 0.75 Volts peak-to-peak and that a receiver must be able to detect a
signal of as little as 0.15 Volts peak-to-peak. (In electrical engineering talk,
this is 14 dB of attenuation). If standard Fieldbus cable is used (attenuation
of 3 dB/ km), then the cable can be
As an example, assume that the trunk cable is 800 meters long. The trunk
attenuation is
Signal Distortion
Fieldbus cable is limited to less than the theoretically possible length.
Signals also get distorted by various cable characteristics, spur reflections,
etc. Shown below on the left is a transmitted signal and on the right a
received signal at the end of a 900 meter long cable with 16 120-meter
spurs at the chickenfoot.
20 Attenuation
Fieldbus Limitations
• If the trunk cable is more than 250 meters long, put a terminator on
each end.
• Keep each spur length below 120 meters.
Attenuation 21
Chapter 9
Reliability Considerations
Summary: Since Fieldbus uses shared wiring, reliability precautions need to
be taken for networks used in critical applications. Reliability enhancement
includes short circuit protectors on spur cables, protected trunk cable,
redundant power supplies and lightning surge protectors.
Fieldbus is different. The host in the control room may not be running the
process but only monitoring it. The task of running the process may be
assigned to a valve and possibly another field device as a backup in case
the primary controller fails.
Spur Shorts 23
Reliability Considerations
Spur Shorts
Since Fieldbus wiring is shared, a short circuit in one of the devices or in its
spur cable disables the segment and hence the whole process that depends
on it. This can happen when a new instrument is installed, an instrument is
serviced or the device becomes waterlogged.
24 Spur Shorts
Reliability Considerations
Figure 9.3: Spur Short Circuit Protection with Active Current Limit
The table below shows the Mean Time to Failure (MTTF) of the
components of a redundant power supply.
A more useful figure for the control engineer is the Availability of a system.
To calculate availability, we also need to know the Mean Time To Repair
(MTTR). The MTTR for a failure which raises an alarm is typically taken as 8
hours (1 shift) to cover the time taken to recognize the alarm, get the
necessary authorizations to work on the system, collect a spare from stores
and complete the replacement.
The Availability is
From this, the Availability for a Fieldbus segment with the redundant
isolator and power conditioner system is 99.9999989%. This means that a
Fieldbus system could be down due to redundant power supply failures on
average for 0.3 seconds/year.
Lightning Surges
There is no protection against a direct lightning strike. The energy involved
is too great. The struck device simply disintegrates.
Lightning strikes also have effects at great distances from the strike point.
The voltage between earth points that are normally considered at the same
potential become large. If a cable connects devices that are at some
distance from each other, the ground potential difference can travel over
the cable and break down the electrical isolation of Fieldbus devices. Since
many Fieldbus devices share the same cable, a lightning surge can
adversely affect all of them.
28 Lightning Surges
Chapter 10
There are a number of ways to power a Fieldbus segment. Some ways work
better than others. Consider the following information.
Galvanic Isolation
The Fieldbus standard requires that the power provided to a segment be
galvanically isolated from ground. Galvanic isolation provides maximum
noise immunity. If you speak electrical engineering, here is the reason for
this requirement:
When a segment is galvanically isolated, the (+) and (-) voltages on the
Fieldbus wires are relative to each other and are not referenced to a
ground. For example, the voltage between the wires might be 24 Volts with
respect to each other. This is called Differential Voltage. The digital
signals on Fieldbus wires are differential. With respect to ground, the
voltage on each wire may be, say +124 Volts for the (+) wire and 100 Volts
for the (-) wire. The 100 Volts in this example is the Common Mode
Voltage.
The devices attached to the Fieldbus wires only “see” differential voltage.
The reason twisted pair wires are used for Fieldbus is that if noise gets on
one wire, it also gets equally on the other wire. Thus, noise is a common
Galvanic Isolation 29
Isolation and Segment Independence
mode voltage. With galvanic isolation, there is no ground reference for the
two Fieldbus signal wires to the grounded shield so that conversion of
common mode noise to differential noise is minimized. If one of the
Fieldbus wires were referenced to ground, the common mode noise on the
wires would not be equal and differential noise would be created. (The
cable shield’s function is to further reduce noise by keeping common mode
noise off the two wires).
Crosstalk
Fieldbus network segments should be independent from each other. A
power conditioner must have equal impedance on both wires of the
segment or the segment must be galvanically isolated from all other
segments. Without this, there is crosstalk between the two segments.
“Crosstalk” means that signals on one segment partially appear on another
segment. Crosstalk is caused by capacitive coupling between segment wires
and the shield. This is a form of noise and makes network operation
unreliable.
Suppose segment A has its (+) wire shorted to the shield. This is not
catastrophic. Segment A will continue to work with reduced noise
immunity. Except for higher error rates on segment A, this condition may
not be noticed. Now suppose that segment B’s (-) wire is shorted to the
shield. Now there is a short between the (+) wire of segment A and the (-)
wire of segment B. This becomes a short circuit on both segments and
disables both segments.
Crosstalk 31
Isolation and Segment Independence
The wires inside a Fieldbus cable are the same regardless of cable
jacketing type: two wires which are twisted with an overall shield covering
them. The type of cable jacketing selected and how the cable is installed
depends on a number of factors. A number of considerations relative to
selection and installation of cables are summarized below.
Note: Always refer to the local electrical codes and regulations prior to
installing any cable. This document is intended to provide a number of
items that should be considered when selecting cable for Fieldbus
installations but in no way replaces the requirement to have an electrical
engineer or designer complete the final documentation used for
construction.
Cable Types
As indicated above, the actual conductors in the cable must still adhere to
the requirements of IEC61508 Part 1, in which the physical layer
characteristics of the various types of Fieldbus cable are defined. All cables
should have a minimum twist as specified in that country’s electrical code
and each successive layer shall be reversed in direction.
There are basically two types of Fieldbus cables and the classification is
largely determined by the type of jacket or outside overall protection on
the cable. These two types of cable are:
Cable Types 33
Fieldbus Cable Selection and Installation for Process Plants
Marine cables are a special subset of these two cable types with additional
criteria for use in ships and boats. In the United States, marine cables are
tested against Underwriters Laboratory (UL) standard UL 1309. All marine
cables as defined by UL 1309 must also meet the requirements of IEEE
Standard 45. Unarmored cable (UL 1246) has insulation and jacket. A jacket
is only required if it is needed to protect the cable from contaminants and
oil at 140o F (60o C) and below; it helps prevent the deterioration of the
insulation and cable. Metal Clad cable is tested against the UL 1569
standard.
There are several different types of cables defined for use in industry.
These are as follows:
• Mineral Insulated (MI) cable has a liquid and gas tight continuous
copper sheath over its copper conductors and magnesium oxide insu-
lation. MI cable may not be used where it is exposed to destructive
corrosive conditions unless protected by materials such as PVC jack-
eting suitable for the conditions in which the cable is to be installed.
MI cable is the most rigid type of cable available.
• Metal Clad (MC) cable is often used for feeder and branch circuit
service. The cable has a metallic sheath that may be interlocking
metal tape or a smooth or corrugated metal tube. A non-metal
jacket is often extruded over the aluminum or steel sheath as a
corrosion protection measure. For MC cables to be installed in
Division 1 areas they must have a gas/vapor tight continuous
corrugated aluminum sheath with a suitable plastic jacket over the
sheath and must also contain equipment grounding conductors. In
addition to the above requirement for classified areas listed
termination fittings must be used where the cables enter equipment.
• Tray Cable (TC) is multi-conductor cable with a flame retardant
nonmetallic sheath commonly used for power, lighting, control and
signal circuits. This is the most commonly used cable and according
to the United States National Electrical Code (NEC) it can be used for
open wiring lengths of less than 50 feet (15 m) between the tray and
the end device. The cable must be supported at distances not
exceeding 6 feet (1.8 m) over this maximum 50-foot (15 m) distance.
• Instrumentation Tray Cable (ITC) is a type of Tray cable that has a
nonmetallic jacket with a metallic shield or metallized foil shield
with a drain wire enclosing the cables multiple conductors. ITC cable
must comply with the crush and impact requirements of type MC
cable and be clearly identified for its use. The number 22 AWG
(American Wire Gauge) to number 12 AWG conductors that make up
this cable are normally rated for 300 V. The relevant Underwriters
Laboratory standard for ITC cable is UL 2250. UL 2250 requires ITC
cable have a gas/vapor tight continuous sheath.
34 Cable Types
Fieldbus Cable Selection and Installation for Process Plants
Cable Support
All these cables require some form of mechanical support and protection so
they can be run from point to point in a facility. There are basically four
ways of supporting cable:
b) Flexible conduit
c) Rigid conduit
d) Wire tray
Ordinary X X
Jacket
Armored X X

Fieldbus Cable
Fieldbus cables are referred to as trunks or home run cables and spurs or
drops, the shorter cables that connect the end devices to the trunk. The
individual conductor pairs of the trunk cable are normally connected to
terminators at either end as well as the host system Input/Output card.
The field end terminator is normally attached to the trunk rather than the
farthest device so that it cannot be accidentally removed when a device is
taken from service.
Most Fieldbus installations use a chicken foot or tree layout, which is well
suited to the trunk, and spur arrangement since a multi-conductor cable is
Cable Support 35
Fieldbus Cable Selection and Installation for Process Plants
used for the trunk to a field junction box from which individual wire pairs
(spurs) are run to the specific end devices.
Despite the fact the above arrangement represents the vast majority of
installations, especially as it is closest to normal installation practices,
there are some cases where it makes more sense to use a bus topology with
periodic spurs along a long trunk. In this situation a large multi-conductor
cable does not make sense since the jacket integrity is broken at each
connection to a spur and therefore a single wire pair (2 conductors +
shield) or two pair (4 conductors + shield) cable would be used.
Installation Considerations
Be aware of every Area Classification change and the associated electrical
code requirements for glands and seals within prescribed distances from
these boundaries. The rules may not be the same in all cases since there
are different conditions in areas classified by Zones versus those classified
by the Class / Division system. An example of this is the Canadian Electrical
Code requires installation of seals within 450 mm (18”) of the change in
Division classification while the new code recognizes that if the cable
installed across a change in Zone classification is more than 10 meters (33
feet) long and the hazardous gas concentration is less than 1.48% it is
considered equivalent to a seal. In effect the liquid and gas tight
composition of the cable provides the seal.
An IP67 seal works the same way as the cable just described by providing a
gas tight seal around the cable thus preventing vapors or liquids from
entering either the cable or device enclosure.
Intrinsically Safe (IS) wiring must be clearly identified and marked with
permanent affixed labels. Most facilities accomplish part of this by having
the foil sheath be a different color than other cables. The normally
selected color for IS cables is a light blue.
36 Installation Considerations
Fieldbus Cable Selection and Installation for Process Plants
Many methods for sealing firewall penetrations are available including bag
or pillow, caulk, cementitious foam, putty and mechanical barrier systems.
The choice of which to use is site dependent.
Conduit
A separate ground wire shall be installed throughout each entire conduit
run.
Large conduit banks require significant space, which is why most modern
facilities are now using cable tray systems instead. Conduit banks also
require more frequent and higher strength supports than cable tray. Rigid
metal conduit must be at least 3 inches (75 cm) diameter to be supported
on the 20 foot spans normally used in pipe racks.
Normal fill for conduit is 40% while for tray it is closer to 100%. This
“spare” room is required to allow the cable to be pulled through fittings
and bends in the conduit.
Conduit routes shall be kept away from high fire risk equipment and high
temperature areas. If this is not possible MI stainless sheathed cables shall
be used.
Liquid tight flexible conduit is to be used where movement and flexing are
expected such as “end of run” applications. The last meter (3 feet) of the
conduit run is normally completed with “flex.” Based on plant practices
this distance can be altered plus or minus a little bit.
Tray
80% of ladder cable tray sold has 9” rung spacing.
Since tray cables are circular the cable tray will have an irregular surface.
Therefore the resulting ice load on a cable tray can be 1.5 to 2 times
greater than the glaze ice load on a flat surface.
Though not required, many cable tray users separate the instrumentation
cables from the power and control cables by installing them in separate
cable trays or by installing as a minimum barriers in the tray. This is to
prevent the harmonics and AC signals in the power and control cables from
inducing voltage and current (noise) on the DC instrumentation cables.
Installation Considerations 37
Fieldbus Cable Selection and Installation for Process Plants
Over 99% of conduits supported on cable trays are the result of conduits
being terminated on the cable tray side rails. For over 35 years it has been
common practice to house the cables exiting the cable tray in conduits or
cable channel where the distance from the cable tray system to the cable
terminations requires the cable to be supported. The 1999 revision of the
NEC now allows raceways, cables and outlet boxes as well as cable and
conduit to be supported from cable trays. In addition a number of new
products, known as tray baskets are available to protect and support cables
between the tray and the end devices/equipment.
Marine Cable
The following portions of the United States Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) are relevant for installations in a marine environment as would be
found on ships and boats.
38 Installation Considerations
Fieldbus Cable Selection and Installation for Process Plants
Summary
In addition to the regulations specified in the local electrical code and
regulations, some facilities may have practices above and beyond the
minimum legislated requirements. This is simply another reason to work
with a registered or licensed electrical professional familiar with the local
needs. These professionals must as a minimum review any work before it is
issued and built in the field.
Summary 39

This is only applicable to Div 2 or Zone 2 areas and only in places that
recognize the nonincendive protection method (not Canada). The
requirements for nonincendive protection are defined in ISA standard
12.12.01-2000. There are four requirements:
43
Current Limiters for Nonincendive Protection
Adding the cable and device capacitances and inductances together yields
29 nF and 75 µH. Thus, for normal Fieldbus device operation on the longest
spur cable, the values of the energy storing components are well below the
safe operation requirements shown in the table above.
Although safety parameter values for voltage, current and power are
sometimes published for nonincendive field wiring and field devices, the
matching of current and power in nonincendive circuits is not required by
ISA standard 12.12.01-2000. For a field device that controls its own current
consumption, such as a Fieldbus instrument, the only requirement is to
match the maximum output voltage of the spur connection with the
maximum safety input voltage of the device. In normal operation, the field
device cannot by definition draw more current or consume more power
than its published operating values, although higher values may be
available from the Fieldbus wiring.
